Who Wants To See Kinectâ€™s Tech Specs?

Kinect will be launched by Microsoft towards the end of this year and after getting some time with it at E3, we wonder how much will change by the time it hits the shelves.

Online store Play.com’s Kinect page is now up, and on it is the complete technical specs for the new controller-free device that Microsoft hopes will change our lives forever. According to the specs which, by the way, are “based on specifications supplied by manufacturers and should be used for guidance only” Kinect is only going to be able to handle a maximum of 2 active players.

No 4 player gaming? Oh noes.

It says that it will be able to track up to 6 players, of which 2 can be active, that means that party games will still exist, just don’t expect to be able to have 4 people playing at the same time.
